Mechanised Column of 7. Panzer-Division

Shown here is a mechanised column of the 7. Panzer-Division, commanded by Generalmajor Erwin Rommel, on the move during the Blitzkrieg through France in the last days of May 1940. The photo was taken by General Rommel himself. They are not hindered by Allied aircraft because the German air superiority ensures them a "safe trip" (at least from the air) along the way!
